Personification Life OOC VI [OPEN]

You mean how Charles Julius Guiteau killed him.

*begins waiting for response about crackpot conspiracy*

No, Edison didn't wash his hands while operating on Garfield using some sort of scanner (forget what is was exactly, think it was a metal detector), to locate the bullet and physically shoved his fingers into Garfield's body. He would have survived the bullet. It was the infection he got from Edison (most likely) that killed him.

Edison didn't operate on Garfield. He devised a metal detector but the metal bed prohibited the device from working properly. Garfield's doctors probed the wound without any regard to sanitary conditions (it wasn't accepted practice back then) and the probing created new channels for bacteria to build up. They actually probed in the wrong direction, if I remember right, and poked a hole in his liver. Anyway, the corroding bullet mixed with the introduction of bacteria are what finally took their toll. A ruptured splenic artery aneurysm following a long period of pneumonia and sepsis.

Dinner soon, methinks.

Yummy!

It's a horrid way to go.

I only remember the history because there was a depiction of Bliss (his self-appointed doctor) in the lab. It had the quirky caption, "No Bliss! Oblige!" which was a catchy-but-misunderstood reminder that we were to observe sterile conditions.


edit... school lab. No one at work is that creative.

I'm a mid-level manager of sorts at where I work, so I make it a personal goal to make sure nobody is too serious.

Well, you know, after we allow the mice to lick pop from the pipettes, we use them to transfer test samples. And we wash our hands sometimes.

[The BranRiech]

Swith, post?

EDIT: G'night! Concert tomorrow!

Cer just got in. I doubt he'll log on.

[Erucia]

Alrighty, done with physics! I feel quite proud of myself!

[Bone Fort]

Good news everyone! The shutdown just ended roughly an hour or so ago. I'd imagine Cer's paperwork, along with the paperwork of so many others, will resume being processed as soon as the offices open in the morning.

Thank goodness. Maybe the bosses will crawl out of his asshole and let him function like a normal human?

Yay! Government workers can get back to work! That's bound to be a lot of stress gone from their shoulders. And Vet and retirees will get paid next month!

God, the backlog for paperwork is going to be astronomical! *laughs*

[Erucia]

This means my Aunt Kristy can go back to work with N.O.A.H., and people on gov. funding can get the pay they need.

Sadly, this costs far more than not shutting down.

Yup. Because of lost opportunity and the costs of restarting things that were shut down.

And really why is a government shutdown even a thing? I have never heard of any nation ever besides the US having to go through this.

SWEET! Thank goodness!

It does exist, it's just the problem is that the U.S. Congress seems to be running on antimatter without any containment protocol, or has a containment protocol written by a bunch of inbred dolts who, upon their birth, were smacked repeatedly against the floor because their parents didn't think they had suffered enough trauma.

Or, its because the Rep. Party is letting their far right control them, which gets absolutely nothing done. NOTHING. considering those partisan(along the lines of Jefferson for actions) politicians refuse to give up any ground, and call things that have been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court(like the ACA(Obamacare)) unconstitutional as they barely understand it(the Constitution) themselves, and simply use it as a buzz word th make people thing their smart about politics when they aren't.

The systems of Congress would work wonderfully if partisan politics wasn't a thing. As they weren't planing on that happening, nor saw it happening, so created the constitution with what they knew in mind. It was created to make better laws through debates. But stalemates solve nothing.

But I was asking WHY the shutdown is a thing. why the government would shutdown parts of itself to save money when it would actually cost money to do so!

On that note: I should stop talking, seeing as this is horrendously off topic.

Better than what my country did. We just suspended the constitution for a few months.

Link Tilt?

I said that as I had never heard of a precedent of that action, really. At least in what I know of history.

Belgium had no government for over a year.

hm.... strange. Quite a long time to have no government.

But Belgium is civilized.

I still don't understand India's politics. One of these days, I'm going to ask you to explain the caste system, too.
